Process by which we can add or delete certain gene is
(A) Gene therapy
(B) Genetic engineering
(C) Methylation
(D) Tissue culture

Assertion: ADA deficiency can not be cured permanently by gene therapy Reason :The genetically engineered lymphocytes are immortal only in culture conditions

Which of the following organelles is releated with genetic engineering/gene cloning

_________is the process by which genetic variations are created through changes in the base sequence within genes resulting in the creation of a new character of trait not found in parental type.

What could be the possible harm of using antibiotic resistant gene as a selectable marker in plasmid, used for gene transfer in production of GM food? (A) GM food contains the enzyme produced by the antibiotic resistance gene that was used during gene tranfer in genetic engineering. This could cause allergies since it is a foreign protein. (B) The bacteria present in the alimentary canal of the humans could take up the antibiotic resistance gene present in GM food. (C) The bacteria in the human alimentary canal would then become resistant to the concerned antibiotic. (D) The transgene may be transferred through pollen to their wild relattves and make weeds more persistant and damaging.

The diagram shows the structure of a bacterial cell. The presence of structure C in the bacterial cell is one reason why bacteria are used in genetic engineering . In the cloning vector pBR322, which gene is responsible for the replication of structure X ?

Identify the wrong statements (a) Genetic modifications in plants helped to reduce post-harvest losses (b) In Tobacco, cry genes are introduced against nematodes (c) In gene therapy, healthy genes are inserted into person's cells and tissues to treat diseases (d) Injustice, inadequate compensation and benefit sharing are related to molecular diagnosis.
